Larry Hancock's JFKA Blog

Larry Hancock, a superb and unbiased JFKA researcher, runs a nice JFKA blog.

Herein is the less-discussed LHO G2-KGB angle. (Well, see my comments in Soviet Suspects post).

Certainly, in comparison to narratives that have somewhat become canon, that is the “CIA and/or Mossad did it,” the narrative that assets related to the KGB or G2 might have manipulated or helped LHO perp the JFKA have been less researched.

The nutshell-story is that LBJ didn’t want a nuke war with Russia, and told Warren/WC as much, thus the LN CT was born. (John Newman says this was tricky CIA’ers at work, planting the WWIII virus, so any JFKA investigation would be stunted. This is further complicated by Newman’s later belief that CIA’er Bruce Solie, a KGB asset, was manipulating LHO. Are you following this?)

Notable: The US Ambassador to Mexico, Thomas Mann, and a well-regarded State Department staffer, Charles William Thomas, both lost their jobs for merely wanting to pursue LHO-Cuba leads.

The KGB chief in Minsk regarded LHO as an asset, though perhaps not after LHO departed Russia.

Of course, LHO in September visited three KGB’ers in MC, including wet-works boss Kostikov. They all met LHO on a Saturday.

This was about the same time Castro publicly warned the Kennedy brothers that assassination attempts could go both ways. In a different time and place with different standards, the Kennedys tried to have Castro assassinated several times, and Castro knew it.

I contend LHO likely had two accomplices or manipulators on 11.22, someone at the GK (the smoke and bang show) and another shooter behind JFK. (That is my read on the Z-film and doctor testimony, another topic.)

I doubt the JFKA conspiracy-plot was much more than that, and could have been two lower-level hotheads associated with G2 or Alpha 66, keeping in mind Alpha 66 was penetrated by G2. In other words, no instructions from above in Havana, Moscow or Washington.

What representations the Alpha 66’ers, G2’ers made to LHO—who knows?

But it is indisputable LHO’s rifle was found near the TSBD6 window, and LHO was invisible when shots rang out. A slender light-skinned male was seen in the TSBD6 window by Brennan, when shots were fired.

LHO acted like someone who was guilty, or thought he had been framed, in the immediate aftermath of the JFKA. LHO is a reasonable suspect as the TSBD6 sniper, maybe even the best suspect.

The JFKA research community has largely tried to totally exonerate LHO in the assassination, but that may be the wrong tack, and one rooted in ideological biases.

It is also possible LHO was part of a very small JFKA CT.

That’s my best guess.

How can anybody who has studied the assassination be unbiased? Such a person is going to have an opinion one way or another on the question of conspiracy.

If you think Oswald had accomplices, show us your evidence. All you've ever presented are speculations. There is no credible evidence Oswald had even a single accomplice. If he had, someone would have found it by now.

Of course we should take his word on that. What reason would he have to lie?

"They've taken me in because of the fact that I lived in the Soviet Union. I'm just a patsy".

JM--

LHO may have considered himself a patsy, in the sense he was "hung out to dry," or left "holding the bag."

That is, LHO participated in the JFKA, and was promised a getaway ride, and then perhaps a trip to Cuba or offshore. Perhaps a lump sum of money too.

Instead, there was no post-JFKA ride, and LHO's erstwhile confederates had vamoosed.

If LHO had been working for Bruce Solie (as theorized by some)...one can see why US authorities would have conducted a very ginger investigation into LHO's confederates.
